Breathe Better. Sleep Deeper. Live Healthier.
If you have Obstructive Sleep Apnea (OSA) and cannot tolerate CPAP, you are not alone. Many patients in Austin, Georgetown, and San Antonio, TX struggle with CPAP masks, hoses, pressure settings, and discomfort that make consistent use nearly impossible.
At Sleep Medicine Consultants — an AASM-accredited sleep center — our board-certified sleep specialists offer an effective, mask-free, FDA-approved alternative:
Inspire® Upper Airway Stimulation (UAS) Therapy
What Is Inspire Therapy?
Inspire® is the first and only FDA-approved implantable device for moderate to severe obstructive sleep apnea.
Instead of pushing air through a mask, Inspire works inside the body to prevent airway collapse — giving you quiet, comfortable, natural breathing all night long.
How Inspire Works
- Implanted Device
A small device is placed under the skin during a same-day, outpatient procedure. - Nightly Activation
Before bed, simply press a button on a small handheld remote. - Breath-Synchronized Stimulation
Inspire carefully monitors your natural breathing pattern. - Airway Support
Gentle pulses activate the hypoglossal nerve, moving the tongue and airway muscles forward to keep your airway open.
No mask. No hose. No machine noise. No CPAP cleaning.
